  1. Self-Leadership chp 1 The Journey

  2. Look into the mirror • Self-Leadership: The leadership we exercise over ourselves • If we ever hope to become leaders of others, we need first to be able to lead ourselves effectively

  3. Leadership • ”A process af influence” • First step in the journey toward achievement of an understanding and improvement of our own self-lesdership • Leadership is not just an outward process – we can and do lead ourselves

  4. Sources of leadership • External leadership • Giving of orders • Rewards and punishments • Participative leadership • Goals are set jointly by a manager and a subordinate • Self-Leadership • Self-imposed processe at the others

  5. Next step of the journey • A boss who gives orders to you, but • The method in which you complete tasks is left to you • What you think about while you work is up to you • You can set a higher or lower goal to yourself – that is up to you • You can feel good about your progress or be tough on yourself • The point is that you are your own leader much of the time • Even if you are faced with influential external leaders

  6. Who is in charge? • In leaders absence: • You are of course in charge of yourself • If leaders are present: • They cannot look in to your mind! • In fact we are our own ultimate leaders! • From Boss: ”Your loafing and making a poor quality” • To self: ”I am the best in the department – the boss is unreasonable today!”

  7. We all lead ourselves! • But: We are not all effective self-leaders • We all have weaknesses in our self-leadership process • Some give their self-leadership potential to others and are lead into equally negative conditions

  8. Your own leader • The point is that you are your own leader, and • You can be a good leader, or • You can be a bad leader • The ideas you choose to adopt for yourself, are up to you – after all you are your own leader

  9. The concept of Self-Leadership • Social cognitive theory • Human behaviour is a complex process with many parts • The human ability to learn by observing • We have a perception of ourselves as effective • Intrinsic motivation theory • ”Natural” rewards – we enjoy doing things we like
